Vantaggi
If you know how to play the ingroup/outgroup game you can earn preferential treatment, gain unlimited 'work from home' negligence, generally provide no value, and put all your responsibilities on lower level staff. Executives practice this behavior and if you can hob-nob with them, you can do the same. If you are looking to scheme a salary out of something like that, you can do that here.
Svantaggi
- Remnants of Weinstein-era startup vibe where high pressure is put on emerging media makers to make a product they can mark up. A lot of "Do this for the opportunity to work with (blank)," and "You'll never work in this town again" egos that belong nowhere in a place that spins testimonials for Pfizer. - Too political. If you do not agree with their worldviews, you will be slowly sidelined and let go. - Too personal. If you treat work as work and aren't personally available 24/7 they will sour on you. Executives kind of pry into your personal life in the name of "culture." - Low-quality. I learned a lot about how to repackage existing work to resell to clients, delivering the minimum asked for, and kicking deliverables and costs to new budgets while collecting on the old. This is exhausting if you are someone who likes overachieving or generally care about your product.
